Default Important Question

OK this question is going to make or break the deal. Do the side rear view mirrors on the tC fold in?

Another question, this one is actually serious:
I'm trying to get a Flint Mica and I saw one a couple of days ago. It had a bunch of options I didn't want (Side airbags, exhaust) as well as being used as a demo car by the dealer (who drove it hard...with me in it!). Now, I ordered a new one from them, but they just called me and said I can get this one. They said maybe they can work on the pricing. Now, I know it's been discussed here before 1000000 times, that you can't haggle on the price. So, what do you guys think, should I go down there and give it a shot? They said they can work something out. Is it worth the time?

Thanx

No, this one is in Alameda. And yes, I thought the exhaust was a bit too loud too. However, if they can really cut me a deal I'll go for it. I'm starting to get very impatient LOL.

Go for it man. Driving a car "hard" for a few times isn't gonna kill it... ESPECIALLY if it's an a/t...

as for the side airbags, and the exhuast, I think those are two of the best options you can buy... personally.

i don't think they fold in... i hear it's because they are considered more aerodynamic.

be aware that on the auto tC that i test drive in Melody toyota couple days ago, somthing weir happen. the gas was relly low, the low gas light was on. so when i am driving in local, changing from first to second gear, the tranny didn't response for about a second, it's like in nutrual, then kick in to second gear. i am not sure if that's normal or not since that never happen on my 93 corolla.
so, just be alart, test drive for a while before you put your $$ down.

Thanks for the alert man, yeah I would never buy anything before I test drove it. But I am getting an automatic, so that thing wouldn't be a problem.

As for that, yeah that's what I'm worried about. Why are they trying so hard to get rid of that car. Maybe I'm just being paranoid...

never buy a demo...that thing was probably beat on

the stock exhaust is nice and quiet, you don't need a TRD lawnmower exhaust on there
